just is not good enough. Tracer is OTM - just about every gay guy i know falls into the category Tracer suggests and to add inslut to injury they talk/ dress/think the same. listen to the same Music etc. it's depressing. Maybe i just dont know the right ones but i have LOOKED HARD for a long time.

odd how nobody on english tv has picked up on the fact that we had a version of this that started a week or two before the american version started called 'Brian's Boyfriends', especially odd as one of the people who hasn't noticed is also a fellow big brither winner. english version is very cheap and goes out after in wee small hours.

I didn't know there were so few episodes and blew it all on the first night.
I loved it so much.
(I also felt it was off that the translators never appeared but the editing seemed smooth enough).

― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 4 November 2019 01:54 (four years ago) link
doesn’t sound naff at all. they really do help bring out the best in people in subtle ways, rather than going berserk with mega transformations that hide the real person. as a viewer, it feels possible for us to improve with similar small changes, which makes the whole shebang relatable.
― times 牛肉麵 (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 4 November 2019 09:51 (four years ago) link
They introduced the translator at the end of episode one and she's not been on screen again, which is a bit of a shame because she looked cute and fun. Since she's in the room I'd like her to be onscreen. Not all of the time but included. Maybe that's a minor niggle.
― Heavy Messages (jed_), Sunday, 3 November 2019 02:56 (yesterday) bookmarkflaglink
yeah she seemed much cooler than the fairly irritating japanese host, who is the only downside thus far (n.b. japan has some of the best reality hosts in tv history, viz. torichan, becky etc)

I thought the Makoto episode was going to go in all sorts of different directions. Really hope it works out for them. All four episodes were good, I thought.
― michaellambert, Tuesday, 12 November 2019 23:11 (four years ago) link
I was just thinking about this while watching Kae's episode. When Tan talked about showing off her body more, I worried that he was going to put her in something figure-hugging, but no. Still pretty baggy and loose, but just more stylish than she wore before. It was a really sympathetic makeover.
― trishyb, Wednesday, 13 November 2019 14:25 (four years ago) link
yeah, it seems (at least on the whole) that they enhance people rather than change them.
― times 牛肉麵 (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 14 November 2019 01:15 (four years ago) link
I rewatched the episode with Tammye from the church in the town of Gay (lol) because I was introducing my mum to QE and it just broke me again. She does a little speech at the end about them all, one by one, and it is just overwhelming. Antoni is a wreck during it. It's definitely worth a rewatch if you haven't seen it for a while.
― Heavy Messages (jed_), Thursday, 14 November 2019 01:47 (four years ago) link
although there are some funny moments in that episode like where Antoni says that usually he teaches people to cook but he'd like tammye to cook for him. oh yeah? don't get me wrong, I adore him and find him indispensable but it will never stop being funny that he's doing the cooking lessons.
― Heavy Messages (jed_), Thursday, 14 November 2019 01:54 (four years ago) link
Think they'd ever do follow-ups on people? I found the Kitchen Nightmare episodes where they checked back on restaurants really interesting. Some ppl really took the advice to heart and ran with it, some thought it was bullshit and they knew better than Gordon, some wanted to make the changes but just couldn't for various reasons.
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 14 November 2019 05:57 (four years ago) link
I felt this way by the end of the episode. It seemed like they were giving each other assurances of love because they knew that was what was expected of them by the end of the programme, but in fact they didn't seem any closer than before. Of course, this could be me misinterpreting Japanese body language.
― trishyb, Sunday, 1 December 2019 13:24 (four years ago) link
I had my doubts too but happy to report that they appear to be doing well - Makoto even put out a new EP that his wife sings on: https://www.bustle.com/p/makoto-yasuko-from-queer-eye-are-still-together-theyre-making-new-music-19291424

new season June 5
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Monday, 18 May 2020 22:06 (three years ago) link
First episode of the new season was pretty odd. It seemed to me that the person they were trying to help had some serious chemical issues going on in her head. She clearly did some cleaning up of her life in-between the visit from the fab five and the follow-up. Maybe there are medical privacy issues that prevented them from discussing some of what happened?
― DJI, Sunday, 2 January 2022 17:24 (two years ago) link
they did seem to cut something during the daughter's talk w kuramo that felt important/like it would've given clearer context
I don't think I've ever seen someone who looks more like a 'Terri', like if I was asked to give an association for that name it would be p much her
I loved her collection of horse prints in the hallway, should've kept those in the redesign
Wonder where all her trinkets are now. there was a lot of stuff!

― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 4 January 2022 04:31 (two years ago) link
me too, and I liked that even though Antonio seemingly did nothing but watch ppl bake she felt so validated by that. cake looked good, would eat

Antoni! dumb autocorrect
― salsa shark, Tuesday, 4 January 2022 08:52 (two years ago) link
Fair play to them, though, that they saw that the validation was more important than a cooking lesson. I absolutely hated that horsehoe arch they put in, though. All I could see was people trying not to bang their elbows off it. What an awkward feature to put into someone's house.

i thought the Ranger guy episode was just ok - seemed pretty clear she nominated him as marketing for the ranch more than anythingbut i did see a comment “East Texas Nick Miller” which made me lol and is very otmthe whole shipping container over the feed storage setup was fucking crazy O_o
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 5 January 2022 17:53 (two years ago) link
I agree that the Ranger episode seemed like a setup. Again, it seemed like there was some backstory missing. He mumbled out something about "looking at other women," but why were they together in the first place if he was such a hot mess? I don't love the idea of "let's fix this guy so he can get a girl back" for this show.
The trans powerlifter woman was a lovely person. Talk about leaning into every trans panic fear, though!
― DJI, Wednesday, 5 January 2022 18:25 (two years ago) link
i loved that episode - Angel is very aptly named <3 sidebar only slightly related: my sister in law used to powerlift & loved it. after a year or two of lifting she had to go to the chiropractor for something. he asked her to push against him with her feet as hard as she could, and she was like “are u sure” & he said “i can take it” & she nearly put him through a wall lmao

Weirdly, I felt the same way about the animal rescue people. It seemed like they really wanted a free barn going into the process, but then she definitely seemed to get a lot more out of it than she thought she would. I felt like she had a weird energy, like she was a serotonin addict who had gotten in way over her head.
I absolutely loved Chris and his complete lack of knowledge about the show or the lads or any part of it, and his lovely song at the end.
― trishyb, Thursday, 6 January 2022 18:44 (two years ago) link
the rescue lady’s vibe was intense and unsettling to me— and she has that thing where she has made her career her personality & only knows how to make other people feel good/seen and thats kind of supplanted any normal way of communicating like gun to her head she would never tell anyone her actual opinions? i have known ppl like this and i just find it creepy bc you never really ~know~ them

I'm just up to the prom episode.
Greatly enjoyed the Fab Five constantly dunking on the Ranger guy, who was basically a walking stereotype of toxic gender norms. cackled when Antoni dramatically threw his head back and went "oh, masculinity!" when the dude was like "I just eat steak most days, I only eat chicken when no one's looking" lmao
was very moved by Angel and her relationship with her dad
